A conversion operates on the value, not representation, so endianess doesn't come into play. On the other hand, converting an integer to a pointer and back does not guarantee preservation of the integer value (unlike the other direction as long as the intervening integer type is wide enough). -- Andreas Schwab, sch...@linux-m68k.org GPG Key fingerprint = 7578 EB47 D4E5 4D69 2510 2552 DF73 E780 A9DA AEC1 "And now for something completely different."
